San Miguel Food and Beverage, Inc., formerly San Miguel Pure Foods Company Inc. (the
“Company”), and its subsidiaries, as members of the San Miguel Group of companies, adopt
the San Miguel Corporation (“SMC”) Group-wide Whistle-Blowing Policy, which sets forth
the procedures for directors, officers, employees and other interested parties to communicate
concerns regarding the Group’s (including the Company’s and its subsidiaries’) accounting,
internal accounting controls, auditing or financial reporting matters. Nevertheless, the
Company and its food subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “San Miguel Foods” or “SMF”)
has determined that it is imperative for it to have a supplemental Whistle-Blowing Policy

Whistle-Blowing Policy, in keeping with the Company’s core value of “MALASAKIT” and
ensuring that its businesses are conducted in the highest standards of fairness, transparency,
accountability and ethics in the pursuit of good governance. Hence, the Company encourages
any director, officer, employee, or Business Partner (referred to as a “Whistleblower”) to
report or provide information about any activity concerning SMF that he or she considers to
be fraudulent, misconduct, malpractice, corrupt or irregular, and has potential to cause losses
and harm to the business, or any of its employees and/or Business Partners.
Objectives:
